renal diseases

2-Iodohippuric Acid can be used to measure renal clearance for renal function studies, and for the diagnosis of certain diseases, such as liver and kidney disease. In addition, it is used in the synthesis of certain drugs.

IPN60090 is a novel, potent, orally bioavailable, renal-type glutaminase (GLS1)-specific inhibitor with an IC50 value of 31 nM for GLS1. IPN60090 has potential anticancer and immunostimulant/immunomodulatory activity, selectively targets, binds, and inhibits human glutaminase, and can be used to study GLS1-mediated diseases.

Runcaciguat is a soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator. Runcaciguat combines with selective partial adenosine A1 receptor agonists and can be used in studies about cardiovascular and renal diseases.

Levocarnitine propionate hydrochloride (ST-261) is used for the treatment of the deterioration of renal function, congestive heart failure, intermittent claudication, and other diseases.

Ilacirnon sodium is a potent CCR2 antagonist that may be useful in the treatment of renal diseases including Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis and Diabetic Nephropathy.

Temocapril hydrochloride (CS-622 HCl), the hydrochloride of Temocapril, is a long-acting ACE inhibitor used for the therapy of hypertension.

Temocapril is an inhibitor of tyrosine kinase.

Dalbergioidin exhibits tyrosinase inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 20 mM. It shows a melanin biosynthesis inhibition zone in the culture plate of Streptomyces bikiniensis that has commonly been used as an indicator organism. Dalbergioidin protects MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells against H2O2-induced cell damage through activation of the PI3K/AKT/SMAD1 pathway, suggests that it may be useful in bone metabolism diseases, particularly osteoporosis. Dalbergioidin also ameliorates doxorubicin-induced renal fibrosis by suppressing the TGF-β signal pathway.

Enuvaptan is a vasopressin receptor antagonist and has the potential for research into renal and cardiovascular diseases.

Tabalumab (LY2127399), a humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG4 type) targeting B-cell activating factor (BAFF), exhibits neutralizing activity against both membrane-bound and soluble BAFF. This compound is relevant for research into autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, renal failure, and systemic lupus erythematosus [1].

NG,NG-dimethyl-L-arginine-d6 (ADMA-d6) (hydrochloride) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of NG,NG-dimethyl-L-arginine by GC- or LC-MS. ADMA is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). It is formed from arginine by protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) and degraded by dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolases (DDAHs) and alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase 2 (AGXT2). ADMA levels are increased concomitant with an increase in blood pressure in Dahl salt-sensitive rats fed a high-salt diet. ADMA levels are increased in the plasma in a variety of endothelial dysfunction-related diseases, including hypertension, congestive heart failure, and end-stage renal disease.

N-Acetyl-L-arginine (Ac-Arg-OH) belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acyl-l-alpha-amino acids. These are n-acylated alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. N-a-Acetyl-L-arginine serum levels (and other guanidino compounds) were elevated of all the hyperargininemic patients are higher than the normal range. N-a-Acetyl-L-arginine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Untreated hyperargininemic patients have the highest guanidino compound levels in cerebrospinal fluid. N-a-Acetyl-L-arginine is one of the guanidino compounds found elevated in the serum of an hemodialyzed renal insufficient (uremic) pediatric population. Outside of the human body, N-a-Acetyl-L-arginine has been detected, but not quantified in, apples and loquats. This could make N-a-acetyl-L-arginine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. N-a-Acetyl-L-arginine, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as uremia and colorectal cancer; N-a-acetyl-L-arginine has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder hyperargininemia. During a low-arginine diet, together with sodium benzoate therapy, there was a marked decrease in plasma N-alpha-acetylarginine. N-a-Acetyl-L-arginine increases in urine hyperargininemic patients.

Mitochonic acid 5 (MA-5) is a derivative of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid. Mitochonic acid 5 binds mitochondria and ameliorates renal tubular and cardiac myocyte damage.It has been shown to improve survival of fibroblasts from patients with mitochondrial diseases.
